The Car Connection's Take

TCC Rating
8.2
7.8

TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe stands out as a stylish, accomplished, and usable full-size sport utility vehicle. The 2008 Nissan Armada has hunky good looks and a buff V-8 engine, but there are more roomier and more useful options among the big utes.
